Props

When watching the four trailers that I analysed, I noticed that they had many props that created the background and style of scene and I decided I would follow this same idea. I decided I would make sure the dancers in the shots of the corridors are carrying ballet shoes and the musicans are carrying instrument cases. This is because I think it will set the right scene for a school of the arts. Also, the first shot of the trailer is of a letter for the dance school, this tells the audience that she will be going to a dance school.

Another idea for props that I came across was Jasmines clothes, as she will need to be wearing very baggy style clothes and not so perfected, unlike the ballerinas. This is because it implies to the viewers that she isn't anything like the ballerinas and not as neat and tidy, much like her style of dancing.

Also, one of the beginning shots is of Jasmine getting told off by her teacher because she was framed with drugs in her locker. I will create this idea, without actually telling the viewers, by having jasmine looking ashamed and the teacher holding a clear packet of what looks like cocaine. This will be effective as the viewers will automatically assume that it is a drug and that she has been caught with them.
